Swamp-Dwelling Predators With a Nauseating Stench

Habitat: Swamp; Treasure: Implements

Bogetis are large, fur-covered creatures that dwell in swamps. Explorers who first encountered them thought of them as bog yetis. Their thick fur is often matted with twigs and overgrown with moss, and their wide mouths allow them to devour large prey with ease—even pausing mid-battle to consume fallen victims.

These creatures are highly social within their family groups but fiercely territorial toward other bogetis. When multiple bogeti groups inhabit the same swamp, they instinctively avoid each other’s territories to prevent violent, often fatal conflicts.

The bogeti’s defining feature is their overwhelming stench, caused by the blood and fluids of their prey soaking into their fur. The combination of the various remains that have caked the fur and how long it has decayed create a distinct smell for each bogeti. Creatures with keen noses can easily distinguish one bogeti from another by scent alone. Roll once on or choose a result from the Fur Scent table to inspire the specific odor of the bogeti.

Bogetis are ambush predators, lying in wait and attacking when prey wanders too close. They can intensify their already revolting stench, overwhelming victims with nausea and debilitating physical reactions.
